Nope, that has been changed. No more call to cpuidle_idle_call in a driver.

Is it possible to give some comments and encapsulate the code with 
explicit function names to be implemented in an arch specific directory 
file (eg. pm.c) and export these functions in a linux/ header ? We try 
to prevent to include asm if possible.

No need to define this intermediate structure here, you can directly 
initialize the cpuidle_driver:


struct cpuidle_driver e500_idle_driver = {
	.name = "e500_idle",
	.owner = THIS_MODULE,
	.states = {
		.name = "pw10",
		.desc = "pw10",
		.flags = CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID,
		.target_residency = 0,
		.enter = &pw10_enter,
	},

	....

	.state_count = 2,	
};

Then in the init function you initialize the state_count consequently:

if (PVR_VER(cur_cpu_spec->pvr_value) != PVR_VER_E6500)
	drv->state_count = 1;

Then you can kill:

max_idle_state, cpuidle_state_table, e500_idle_state_probe and 
pw_idle_states.

Can you explain why this is needed ?

Pass the cpuidle_driver as parameter to the function.

This code should disappear.

As this function will just initialize state_count, you can move it in 
caller and kill this function.

This code should disappear.

No need of this check, because:

1. you know how you initialized the driver (1 or 2 states)
2. this is already by the cpuidle framework

extra carriage return.

Why ?
